There are many doctors that would agree that there is a connection between physical health and psychological health. When you are getting stressed out over your job because you may be overworked or there are financial problems within your family. All of this could cause you to have some form of physical reaction.

And we all are, so long as there is a breath of life in us, in some measure healthy’’ (1987,p. 3).

A cold is an example of an illness that is a common for you to get when under stress for extended periods of time.
